Kappa Delta Pi and SOE Awards Ceremony

Antonia Hernández, nationally renowned for a career spanning four decades in social justice, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector and for her lifelong devotion to underserved communities in Los Angeles and beyond, accepted SOE’s 2017 Educator of the Year award and delivered a keynote speech at the annual event. Since 2004, Hernández has headed the California Community Foundation, which supports nonprofits and public institutions throughout Southern California with funds for health and human services, affordable housing, early childhood education, community arts and culture, and other areas of need.

Hear her inspirational immigrant story and her call for all of us to advocate in investing in a quality education for all of our youth in Los Angeles — including the immigrant community and those challenged by poverty.
